B5                                                                             F#5 
In from the coast, riding like the wind and racing the moon. 
B5                                                                               F#5 
Shadows on the road, dancing and weaving like a crazy fool. 
B5                                                                             F#5 
A horseman is coming, death in his heart for a rendezvous. 
A5                                             A5       B5        A5                                            A5         B5 
And where the traveller goes, nobody knows. Where the traveller goes, nobody knows

Chorus: 
B5                                                                                 F#5 
A candle in the night, fear on every face when he goes inside. 

(Maybe he's on the run) 
B5                                                                                 F#5 
Get back from the bar, a stranger in town is a dangerous sight 

(maybe he's got a gun) 
B5                                                                              F#5 
bring a bottle of whiskey landlord, I want to talk for a while 
A5                                              A5             B5 
And where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows. 
A5                                          A5            B5 
Where the traveller goes, a cold wind blows. 
B5                                           A5      G5                                                                      B5 
you can almost smell his revenge There is something in his eyes, something in his hands,  
A5                                                                     G5                                       F#5        B5 
And whoever he is after, it will be a disaster, this man is gonna take him to the very end. 
B5                                                                                                       F#5 
Well, the landlord he trembled staring at a face he'd seen somewhere before. 

(you laid him in the ground) 
B5                                                                                       F#5 
Suddenly remembered a killing, yes, a murder many years before. 

(t'was you that shot him down) 
B5                                                                                    F#5 
He said to a boy, saddle me the black, I'll meet you down below, 
A5                                                      A5         B5     A5                                              A5                 B5 
with this man I must talk, with this traveller I go, with this man I must talk, yes with him I must go. 
 
Chorus: 
G5                           G5      A5 
and they were never seen again.
